[Bug 1096235] Re: selecting a line that begins with <tab> char messes up screen

 

While we still recommend that tabs aren't used due to their ambiguity, I
still wouldn't want Mudlet to have any rendering bugs regardless of what
the server sends.

Attaching a test case that demonstrates issues with tabs, which also
differ depending on whenever text is coloured or not.

Title:
  selecting a line that begins with <tab> char messes up screen

Status in Mudlet:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Likes received from MUD that begin with <tab> character (like, multiple lines aligned with tabulator) render correctly.
  But selecting them messes up the screen:
  each tab character is selected as it would be 1 char width (and not 8 chars as it is rendered) and rest of text that follows is shifted left.

  Mudlet ver: 2.0
  OS: Win 7
